Took First Chemo Treatment. On Zoloft, Dexamethasone. Stomach Feel Like Knots. Medicament For Stop Throwing Up?

I took my first chemo treatment today. I was given prescriptions for zoloft and compazine. I am also taking dexamethasone 4 mg twice daily for three days. My stomach feels like it is in knots. I want to take something for nausea so I won't wake up sick during the night. Which of my medications is stronger zoloft or compazine? I would like to save the stronger one for when I am throwing up.

Hi, dexamethasone is the one which has more of gastric irritation. any drug can have gastric irritation to some extent. Instead of leaving the drug, it is better to have a drug to stop the gastric irritation. So you consult your doctor for the drug which minimise the irritation.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe omeprazole, domperidond along with other drugs. Thank you.
